britguy -> What's the best way to remember falsetas? (May 12 2013 14:05:28)
|
Getting within whispering distance of 80; I'm finding it increasingly hard to remember some falsetas, if I don't play them pretty regularly. For example; one week I might play exclusively Tarantas, and maybe Granadinas. Then if I try to switch to Seguiriyas, I find I cant remember exactly how to finger some falsetas that I played just a few weeks ago? I can remember the sound, but not the fingering, positions, etc. So sometimes I have to go back in my files and try to find the original source where I learned it.; (tab, video, whatever?). I was wondering if this might be a common problem, and how do other players remember all their falsetas? And further, maybe I should try video-recording all my stuff to have everything on file? The problem with that is that I frequently change the way I play certain phrases over a period of time: i.e. the old Montoya Soleares falseta I played a few years ago has a few added notes in more recent times? I guess I could TAB out all the stuff, but (A) I don't know how to do that; and (B) it would be a hell of a pain, and very time-consuming. Any thoughts. . . ?
